So what's the secret behind this amazing new way of generating wind power? Placing all of the moving parts inside:
The wind turbine technically speaking isn’t bladeless because the blades are housed inside the windsock. The unit is completely self contained and slightly cone shaped. This shape compresses the air and allows the turbine to turn in lower wind speeds. It’s also very quiet because all moving parts are contained inside the unit this helps reduce the sound produced. This reduces and probably completely eliminates the danger to birds caused by traditional open bladed wind turbine designs.
“OUR DESIGN DOES NOT HAVE ANY EXTERNAL MOVING PARTS TO HIT THE BIRDS,” WRITES GREEN ON HIS WEBSITE. “OUR UNIT IS EASY TO SEE SO THE BIRDS CAN AVOID IT, AND ALL MOVING PARTS ARE INTERNAL. THE BLADES ARE MOUNTED BEHIND THE WINDSOCK AND INNER COMPRESSION CONE, THEREFORE MAKING THEM NONACCESSIBLE TO BIRDS. ALSO, OUR TURBINES MAKE VIRTUALLY NO NOISE.” RAYMOND GREEN CATCHING WIND POWER

Its a reversed jet engine model south an air scoop, I want to see how it does with extreme weather. Oh, and if you’ve ever seen Big Hero 6, similar models are mounted on blimps and tethered to the buildings they power…
Cool tech but seems like a stalled out project.
I wish I had one. We have plenty of wind, and lots of birds. My problem I am poor. So they would have to be very inexpensive
Never miss the fact the guy is 90! Never ever give up on an idea! Ever!!!!
Don’t know of any wind turbines that endanger wildlife.
Happy to put two up on my house right now just to test them out.
what a wonderful man you are…..inventing something that wont hurt birds and still emprove life for humans…i sure hope this catches on..
I think it is really great that this man invented something so cool. But, what I’m most intrigued about is: why is it important to readers that he is 89 years old. Does his age mean that the accomplishment is greater than if he was 29, or 59. I see this age bias all the time and have been wondering about it. If anyone knows please shate with me.
So how does this turbine turn to face into the wind in order to collect it
Never too old to Create!…lol
Doesn’t give any specifics, how much power does it make? Does it turn to face wind?
But wind turbines don’t endanger wildlife
It might chop a couple birds, but they’ll get over it
I’ve met a 90plus y/o that designed and built a hand pump that’s really easy to use and pumps on the up and down stroke and probably puts out 10 gpm at an easy pace.
He squashed a chipmunk when he put it up!! But the the eco system is is good!!
I’d use it if I had more wind here.
Like the idea but weight and strength are an issue,if we are concerned about the birds we would ban the airplane and automobiles they kill million birds a day.
It sounds great, but unless some big multinational corporation with connections to the banking cartel can make millions from it, Like those huge 3 bladed monstrosities, it’s going nowhere.
Its a wind-wind!
Big wind turbines kill 1000’s of Eagles every year and do little to help the environment.
I just keep laughing at this. I seen it. Lol
